Football Manager 2021 is vastly popular amongst the footballing community, especially during times of isolation and a lack of competitive football.

It is mainly used as a way to escape from reality as gamers enter the virtual world and try to carve their success stories.

Many have come in Wales, including in previous additions, non Welsh domestic football fans becoming converted, including some Italians who now support Bala Town.

To make such a game work however, there are specific scouting teams which work tirelessly to make a true representation of the real life world.

In Wales, we have Matthew Burgess to thank for their efforts for this years game, alongside a dedicated team of assistant researchers.

Using the FM 21 database, we’ve put together a list of the top 25 players in the Cymru Premier. How it will work is those that has the highest Current Ability rating, in which we’ve ranked them in order.

Out of the 25, ten of the players are from the current league leaders The New Saints with Danny Redmond at the top of the pile.

Surprisingly the current top scorer of the league, Chris Venables is low down in 22nd, despite his obvious ability in the league.

There is also no place in the top 25 for Greg Draper, who has more than 150 goals for The New Saints. 

Is there anyone else you think is missing from this list? Are some underrated? We’ll be releasing the next 25 if you demand it as we delve more into the virtual world of football management.
